Web 2.0 University comes to Seattle

Web 2.0 University, which bills itself as the “Web 2.0 education solution for executives and technical leaders,” will be offering classes in Seattle next week.

And just what does one learn at Web 2.0 University?

Organizer Dion Hinchcliffe writes in a promotional e-mail:

“To help companies rapidly transform to the business models of the 21st century, we have created Web 2.0 University to provide a highly effective set of educational experiences for you and your entire team. Why? Because in an age of fast, emergent, global change driven by the Internet, it’s now become essential in business to understand these trends and to quickly reorient to take advantage of the new rules of doing business online.”

The Ajax Bootcamp course, to be held next Tuesday, costs $995 and teaches people “how to build compelling, user-centric, Ajax-based rich Internet applications.” The Web 2.0 Executive Bootcamp will be held the following day — also for $995.
